I read the lesson and it says you use "des" for countable objects and "du, de la, de l' and des" for uncountable objects.

How do you know when to use "des" for uncountable objects instead of "du"?

Why is 'Apple tart with cream' translated as plural in French? , and shouldn't it be Tarte 'du' pommes instead of 'aux'?

Aren't silk scarfs usually foulards ? I think of écharpes more like ski, wool, or winter scarfs. Am I wrong ? At the very least, it should have been offered as an answer, no?

For the sentence, "we'll all be dressed in red, white and blue, I wrote: "on sera tous habillés en rouge, blanc et bleu". The space after the comma after rouge was marked as an error and it was translated as "on sera tous habillés en rouge,blanc et bleu". Is this a thing with lists? I couldn't find any reference to it. (I have long thought that an exercise on French punctuation would be a good idea and very helpful.)

While I'm here, would it be possible to supply the accompanying vocabulary lists in French? I look up the English and use what I find, but it's so often wrong that it's frustrating and disheartening.

Both thes phrases are in this lesson and contradict one another...

'following the Spelling Reform it is recommended to use hyphens with any numbers lower or greater than 100 (quarante-et-un / deux-cents)'

Then it says this is...

71 = 60 + 11 = soixante et onze    (No hyphen)
